NEW YORK: The Song of the Summer, ‘Despacito’ has officially tied with Mariah Carey’s hit 'One Sweet Day' for most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
According to Billboard, the song led the list for a 16th week, the most weeks at No. 1 ever for a single.
‘Despacito’ is now tied with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s ‘One Sweet Day,’ which broke the record for the longest stay atop the Hot 100 and established the 16-week record that still stands to this day back in 1995.

The song has been no. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin chart for almost double the length as Billboard’s Hot 100, at 30 weeks, which also makes it Billboard Hot Latin’s longest-running chart-topper. (ANI)
